Former miners wanted

We are looking for former Lauchhammer miners for our first series of storytelling cafés:

  • born before 1970
  • worked in lignite mining before reunification
  • live in Lauchhammer

The Storytelling Cafés will take place at the Traditionsverein in Lauchhammer. We look forward to a lively participation.
